One story ends, another begins. Who else is hyped for DAWNTRAIL!? 🤘🤩🤘
Much Hype!
I think this would make the 5 covers right? so does that mean no more FFXIV covers in the future?
big hype😅
On a break from the game personally and don't see myself returning unless the Field operations content in dawntrail is good
I don't even know what to expect since it will be a whole new chapter! But I can't wait to see all the wonders of our realm as Emet Selch bid us!
Great job, my man!
Dude, thank you so much! 🤘 I absolutely loved your performance in the original and it inspired me so much. Was pretty nervous to take it on to be honest, haha.
In 2 days it will be the 2 year mark of my best friend passing. He never got to finish Endwalker but this song always reminds me of him and our journeys across Eorzea together and encourages me to carry on and forge ahead. I will miss him in Dawntrail and in life, thank you Skar for delivering another amazing masterpiece.
No matter where you go in Eorzea, he is there with you.
I learned this lesson as I got my parents into EverQuest so long ago and I KNOW they would have loved FF14 had they gotten to try it.
Like the song says, through you, he lives.🤘
the moment when ingame when you realise that the music is a representation of all that was lost, and all you could yet save.
If you need a push, I'll be right there behind you.
I'm not crying you're crying...
Fantastic cover my man. This is by far my favorite song from Endwalker. The walk with the twins while this was playing in the background just hit hard.
Thank you.
This song is basically what is in G'raha's heart come about from everything he has witnessed, everything he has seen you accomplish in BOTH TIMELINES. Don't forget, he woke up in a timeline in which we died. He read everything we did, how hard we fought, the fact we pushed through losing our friends one after the other, and at the end we died preventing the 8th calamity from totally destroying everything.
Something that had me replay Shadowbringers 3 times to catch, The 'Exarch' pays attention to Alisaie specifically when she is interacting with you. His head follows her in a way it doesn't for the others. She died protecting the WoL from a fatal blow. She has a crush on the WoL that Krile and Y'shtola both tease her over (so does Ameliance later on if you do her custom deliveries, she blatantly wonders when you will marry her daughter and join the family if you are male...a comment she apparently does not make if you are female). The way it is worded was "The Valorous one dies in their love's arms on the battlefield." Her painting is known as 'the scion of valor' if you didn't do the content to unlock the Scion's paintings.
This is amazing brother-in-axe! What Shadowbringers and Endwalker did to my soul... Forever changed me! I cannot wait for Dawntrail!
Same here brother. Can't wait to start a new story!
I needed this. Close in the Distance was the song I chose to honor my grandfather’s passing, and his legacy. Love you fellow Warrior! -Dark Knight Main.
How am I meant to type about how epic this is when I'm too busy crying and headbanging.
The first time this song played in the msq I teared up. Now I'm flat out crying. Amazing cover! Ide buy it on the mog station in a heartbeat
"The sorrow of a thousand thousand worlds weighs heavy. And yet you can walk on." I love this song, thank you!
I love this song so much. The line "the sun will shine again" always make me tear up. Especially with all the depression metaphors in Endwalker. Not many other games have me as emotionally invested as FF14.
Seriously, I always thought this song kinda had the ringing of a Killswitch Engage song and this cover just supports that feeling, especially the guitar riff on the bridge. Absolutely amazing cover. 100/10
I had the exact same feeling 😅 especially that bridge part sounds very killswitch, especially with the original singers vocals
*volume maxed* *keeps trying to twist it up some more* . This ballad satisfies The 12, the Elder Primals, and my tear ducts. May you walk ever in the light of the Crystal.
"The Walk" will break down the hardest man. This cover gives me just as many chills as the original. Well done!
Nice, a metal cover! Surely I won't cry this time!
Eyes: Are you sure about that?
The way it just kicks back in @ 3:16 gives me chills. Like, this is what plays when the scions return for the grand finale. 🍀
What a fantastic performance! This song brought me to my knees when I played through Endwalker, and your cover made my hair stand on end- it was just SO good.
Much love, and thank you for all your hard work and care for the music of this game!
Three covers now, each time I click them, I feel my eyes water up on the very first chords, but this one.... it somehow hits different. It has a rising melody to it that inspires determination, not a slow tune into desolation, but a light at the end of the tunnel. The tears are for a different reason this time - it is literally, like she said, a song of hope, in metal format. I love it, I can't say anything else... I love it....
I have 6 FFXIV covers out ;) glad you like it my friend!
@@SkarProductions Close in the Distance just has a damn good place in my heart, and I love how you changed it, without even the slightest doubt. Between this and Answers, really is hard to decide which one I am gonna have on replay more.
Man I don't even play FF14, but I still get goosebumps from this song and your Answers cover. Your music kicks ass man!
The triumphant rising of tone, the powerful guitars along with your vocals, and the raw, pure emotion within the song's lyrics... You never cease to amaze, Skar.❤
when these 2 get together it is always super epic!
My personal favorite song from a videogame! Everytime I hear it I get teary eyed, such a great cover man!
My journey through Final Fantasy Online started in 2005 (FFXI), I was only 21 years old. 19 years later, I am still continuing this journey, but through FFXIV. But this time, I am not alone, my oldest Son is now walking this path with me. Amazing to look back and know that a journey that was once my own, will now be experienced alongside my son. He was just a baby when I started FFXI and now he is a man forging his own path through FFXIV. I will be right by his side.
You never disappoint Skar. Your love for Eorzea shines in every cover you do. Thank you, fellow Warrior of Light.
Yep, this song still makes me cry.
bro you're so gorgeous and your voice too wtffff >////////
This gives me goosebumps daaamnnnn
Holy smokes. This cover is amazing!
Them feels got back to me. I am not crying, you are!
Thank you so much for this cover!
This song, this game did things to me that made me fall in love with gaming again. The fact that FF14 is an RPG-MMO is incredible - its telling a story that you can experience with friends but because its story focused, you can share the highs and lows with everyone who experiences it for the first time and this song playing when it does in Endwalker is perfect, with all that's been lost, what you could lose should you fail but all that can be saved should you sucssed. Excellent work as always Skar \m/ Forge Ahead
Wow…just wow!!!!! I absolutely love this!! You did an amazing job keeping it close to the original as well as adding your own flavor to it! That dual guitar solo just…🤯 blew my mind! Very very well done!!!! 🤩🤘🏻🎸💯
I am super hyped for Dawntrail!! 😊
Man, you put your soul in this song, it's kicking out tears!
More than two years have passed since I experienced this in-game for the first time. And I thought I was used to this song, because it didn't affect me so much anymore. But this made me re-experience all of those feelings as if they were new. Thank you for this excellent piece of work.
How the fuck is this song so god damn emotional man. Excellent cover.
This is...pure gold....I-I just can't 😭😭😭Sooo beautiful!!!!
That backing scream 🔥
Frikken wow!! Skar! This is truly beyond amazing. You keep getting better and better and better. And your smile is back! 😄You guys did a fenomenal job! Love it! ♥🎸🤘🔥
I am to serious to smile! x)
@@SkarProductions lol Suuuurrrreee :P
I've been listening to all your FFXIV covers all morning, So imagine my surprise when you dropped this beautiful cover.
This song man...
I played through the game twice due to some mistakes I made throughout my first playthrough but THIS SONG stuck with me the most due to the significance it had in the last part of the storyline for endwalker. The song that signifies the end of one story but the beginning of another. Going up that staircase to the final arena...
You guys made a perfect cover. So well done.
Thank you.
Absolutely no criticism, but what kind of mistakes could you possibly make in this game? But I am super happy you like if!
@@SkarProductions I skipped out on a LOT of stuff on my first playthrough. Plus the game is really good, so I didnt mind too much.
I am not much of a game music listener, but i love this tune.
These did a great job
Skar's dedication and passion to make an absolute masterpiece for us every time is why i have subbed and stayed subbed no matter how long between songs. The wait is always worth it. Thank you again Skar
Currently doing the tribe in Ultima Thule and the background music of this song made me wanna listen to this cover again :D
Gods damn Skar you did it again! Sitting here with goosebumps! This is probably my favorite song in FF14 and you're doing it such justice dude!!
Holy shit this is amazing! You’ve really out done yourself in this one 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Don't know the original, but DAMN! This kicks HARD! Love it!
Another absolute banger of a cover, love it!! The way this song fucks me up every time is unreal tho 😭
This is a BEAUTIFUL cover-I just love the fantastic way that you translated those soft vibes into an equally soft but still METAL cover. And those vocals??? The memories all come flooding back..Thank you for this amazing tribute and till we all meet again in Dawntrail!!
PTSD of the saddest MSQ moments I've ever experienced in a video game... the song is absolutely perfect but god does it hurt my heart T_T
Thanks for this awesome Cover. I spent my idle time in this zone listening to this song ♥ the walk through all the memories was hard not only for the story also for real stories
Sozen get them in dawntrail!!!! Amazing cover
Man, I just have to say, your taking an already fantastic song, and giving it such an amazing personal touch. Your cover really is amazing. Well done my friend, looking forward to more.

This part of the story hit so hard.. I'm not ashamed to admit this song especially had me in tears.

Holy hell. Two new Skar covers in half an hour? Today must be my lucky day!

Take a look at "stray" from wolfs rain soundtrack, Man.
2:10 jesus christ that goes hard....
Yup thats that. Officially your best cover by far.
Absolutely phenomenal, you sound really close to the original singer too so it matches your voice so well!! hype for DAWNTRAIL!!
I LOVE the original voice on this. Tbh it was a little effort on this cause I refused to make it less than him lol. Can't beat his vibrato thou
I very like original song but yours cover is incredible. I like is you make and you's cover on Anduin theme is a my favorite
I have been waiting for this cover from the moment Endwalker was released!! THANK YOU!!!
YES FINALLY!!!! BEEN WATING FOR YEARS!!! But alot has changed i hear ❤❤❤🤘🤘
Wow! So many goosebumps listening to this one. You guys gave an amazing take on an already beautiful song!
Yessss! Been waiting for this one!
This song still gets to me. Awesome cover.
Another amazing and beautiful rendition. You are so talented! Keep it up!
Amazing cover, close in the distance is a song i connect to on a personal level. At the time i was recovering from a serious injury and my free company at the time helped me the whole way through the second half of endwalker and supported me through the recovery and to hear the song as a metal cover hits different, i love metal music
Oh wow... This is amazing! Incredible job! Keep up the awesome work!
Wasn't expecting this! Hecking awesome cover! Gave me the motivation to push through the start of my day!
My
favorite song from a videogame! Everytime I hear it I get teary eyed, such a great cover of an awesome game
This is an instant favorite, right up there with Weight of the World and your recent Answers cover. Absolutely fantastic ❤
I come home and saw your cover from this song! It runed out so amazing Skar! The original is one of my favourites in ffxiv but yours rock so much more!
A beautiful cover, as always. Yall are music heroes.
I was a bit worried when I clicked on this one. Love Skar and his covers, they always deliver, but this song is very special to me, and is quite possibly my favorite from EndWalker. Nicely done cover, I was glad i clicked. That solo........omg. So goooooooooood!!!
Finally! Been waiting to see if you'd put your touch on this! Already one of my favourite covers!
SO PUMPED! Been waiting for this for a long time.
The more I listen to this song the more I like it
Damn dude, you never cease to amaze me.
Incredible !!
Awesome cover and can't wait to listen to ur Dawntrail covers! 🤟
Epic... Metal... yeah, sums this up about right I would say. I swear this song is so powerful and meaningful to anyone who has been playing for any length of time... It pretty much always draws me to the brink of tears. Fantastic cover as always and yes this Warrior of Light is very much looking forward to Dawntrail!
This is an headbanging cover and caused me to subscribe! 🤘😈🤘
YES!!!!! 🤘🤩🤘I have been waiting such a long time!!! Love it! ♥🎸🤘🔥
